“If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.”

John 15:8 NIV

Father God, thank You for giving us Your Word.  Scripture is full of truth and life, and we never want to take it for granted.  We know that we are easily distracted, and yet You give us the strength to persevere.  Show us how to meditate on your Word.  Teach us to prioritize our relationship with You above all else.  In Jesus name, Amen.

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

John 16:33 NIV
